I just finished a new book, Mountain Girl, by A. T. hiker Ken Byerly. The last chapter, set at a leanto on Saddleback Mountain in Maine, moved me more than anything I’ve read in a long, long time. The trail itself becomes part of the plot about 60 pages from the end. But it’s the last chapter that knocks you out. When you finish you want to rush out and a shake a thruhiker’s hand. The book’s available online from Amazon.
